This episode is a raw, in the moment update, shared exactly as it is, because that is the only way I know how to do this.

Last month, my perimenopause symptoms knocked me sideways. Extreme exhaustion, hunger that would not quit, days spent on the sofa. This month, I made changes, prioritising protein, sleep and daily movement and I wanted to sit down and honestly reflect on what shifted, what did not and what new symptoms have shown up to get my attention.

Because that is the thing about this journey. Just when you think you have found your footing, something new surfaces.

In this episode I share my honest month-by-month experience of perimenopause, what I have changed in terms of nourishment and lifestyle and how that has made a real difference and what I am still figuring out. I also talk about something that feels just as significant as the physical symptoms: The way this threshold is stripping back the layers of who I thought I had to be and the quiet but unmistakable feeling of just becoming more myself.

This is not a guide. There are no tidy answers here. It is simply one woman's honest account of navigating this threshold in real time because I believe that is exactly the kind of conversation we need more of.

I'd love to know what you thought of today's episode
